Famous quotes containing the words attitudes and/or children:
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
“Good mothers know that their relationship with each of their children is like a movable feast, constantly changing and evolving.”
—Sue Woodman (20th century)
